Drawing on his experience as a father of three young adults, Dr. Kruger shares the beauty and the challenges of having a family devotion time. He also shares why they chose Mark for this study, and how this particular gospel lends itself well to family discussion.

In the 3rd episode of our Good Good News series, Cameron and Anna discuss the gospel benefit of regeneration. Regeneration is the name for God making us a new creation, whereby we are raised from spiritual death and made alive in Christ. This is good news for parents who cannot seem to change their child's behavior-- or their own, sometimes-- the Holy Spirit will change us from the inside out.

In this episode of the Good Good News, Cameron and Anna continue to examine the benefits of the gospel for parents by taking a thoughtful look at the doctrine of God's foreknowledge—also referred to as election, calling, or predestination. Listen to discover how that is a "soothing comfort" for us as individuals and us as parents.

Welcome to the 11th series of the Rooted Parent Podcast! Cameron and Anna will share with you the good good news of the gospel as it applies specifically to you as a mom or dad. Together we will examine facets of the gospel, such as adoption and regeneration, and discuss how those truths inherent to our salvation actually have real-world, practical implications in our daily lives raising children. In the same way that most of us carry smartphones but do not utilize a fraction of that small computer's power and capacity, believers often do not know or live out of all the treasures of the gospel. Join us this season as we dig deeper to enjoy all that Christ has done for us and learn to love Him more.
